I live in South Wales but close to the Gwent border. Can anyone offer any pro's and con's to living and working in the same or different force area?

Gwent are recruiting but there seems to be a back log of applicants for SWP.

Any opinions appreciated!!!

Hello! I use to live in Gwent (Abergavenny) and regularly commuted to my duty stations within several BCUs in South Wales Police.If you are applying to be a Special constable you will receive £0.40p force transport mileage rate if you use your own vehicle. This is only payable when you are within your forces boundaries though!
